  Re: [firebreath-dev] browser becomes standstill Are you doing the rendering and such on the main plugin thread? You shouldn't be doing anything cpu intensive on that thread, as a general rule, because it can slow down the rest of the browser. Also, which OS? Richard
  Re: [firebreath-dev] Support JS Object Construction in FireBreath It would be awesome if you could put this on firebreath.org somewhere. (in case you didn't know, firebreath.org is a wiki that anyone can edit) Richard
  Support JS Object Construction in FireBreath Hi, all, I have done some experiments in FireBreath to support JS binding for object construction, e.g. "new TestObj()" and made it work. I would like to share my experience with everyone in case you need to do the same thing in the future. You must have known how to bind a function or an attribute to an existing
  Re: [firebreath-dev] Sending the event from plugin to JS layer getRootJSAPI() in your plugin class will give you the FB:JSAPIPtr class for your JSAPI object. boost::dynamic_cast<YourPlugin API>(getRootJSAPI()) will give you a YourPluginAPIPtr cast of the root JSAPI object that will have your methods on it. Richard
  Sending the event from plugin to JS layer Hi, I'm using Firebreath environment to develop a NPAPI plugin abstracting the media player engine of ours to create a web based player. I'm stuck with the following problem. I've following files, MyPlugin.cpp MyPluginAPI.cpp Player.cpp MyPluginAPI.cpp/MyPluginAPI.h contains the methods and events I register
  browser becomes standstill Hi all, we are developing a 3d plugin using firebreath. we render buildings and the globe in the plugin(like google earth). when the plugin renders many buildings(of course it takes much GPU and CPU), we can fluently browse in our plugin window. but when we move the mouse out of plugin window to interact with the
  Windowless redraw is slow in Window Safari While other browsers are fine, I do find that windowless drawing of 20 ms cycle in Safari is not achievable. I've done up a simple test which shows a small rectangle moving left to right on a 20 ms interval. If compare Safari with other browsers, the rectangle moves slower than the rest. If I set it
  Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits heinob, As I mentioned that the DLL could be found after execute register32 by hand. Up to now, I still don't know why I can't build WiXInstall.vcxproj on Win2008 Server 64 bits, and I have no idea how to fix it. Richard, I am not sure how to use heat.exe. I try to use heat.exe to generate wxs
  Re: [firebreath-dev] Expose the C# classes in JavaScript through Firebreath Framework You will likely need to have your wrappers in a second dll called by fb on instantiation. Framework. property from C# in JavaScript I have to instantiate the wrapper in Firebreath. and Please let me know "firebreath-dev" group. email to firebreath-dev+unsubscribe@goo glegroups.com.
  Expose the C# classes in JavaScript through Firebreath Framework Hi, I need to expose the C# classes in JavaScript through Firebreath Framework. I have created the wrapper for the same but to invoke each method, property from C# in JavaScript I have to instantiate the wrapper in Firebreath. So Could you please suggest any centralized solution for Wrapper? and
  Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits WiX can only successfully "compile", if it can successfully register your plugin. So to exclude that error reason you should try to register your plugin-DLL "by hand". If that succeeds, there is another reason. if it fails --> find the reason why. 2013/5/14 YoKo Lo <yoko...@gmail.com>
  Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits heinob, My problem is compile fail when build WiXInstall. :( Richard, I find build\projects\MyPlugin\npfbPl ugin_auto.wxs in 64-bits seems to leak some information. Why this file miss some content? How could I make this file correct? ***incorrect in 64-bits***: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits That is quite easy: Try to register your DLL with regsvr32.exe. If it succeeds all DLL's shich are loaded by your DLL are there. If it fails, something is missing. Remember that all dependend DLL's have to be reachable (means staying in the same directory as your DLL or in \Windows\System32).
  Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits Is there a particular reason why you need 64 bit support on windows? I don't know why wix wouldn't be working; you'll have to troubleshoot that yourself. Try using heat.exe from wix to harvest the com info from a 64 bit dll, that will shed light on it. Also, if you're using vs2010 pro (not express) you shouldn't need the windows sdk.
  Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits Thanks for your reminder, I use IE64/Firefox(64) to run the 64-bits DLL (directly build code without running WiX), and it works well. You say maybe it is missing a DLL in 64 bits.-->It means maybe WiX ToolSet is missing a DLL in 64 bits? If yes, How could I find the root cause and come out solution?
